Legit didn't even know Darron Gibson played for them, or even still played football for that matter.

I know Rafa loves the 4-2-3-1 but for a formation with two holding midfielders it offers hardly any cover in front of the back 4. I hate the f***ing system, it's awful. Obviously it'll be better with better players but i'm never going to really like it. Agreed, I fucking hate 4-2-3-1. It's too rigid and predictable, for us anyway.

When the transfer window shuts, we'll get the "squad is good enough to stay up anyway" line.

Probably not, but would be an excellent signing.

Good luck to him, excellent professional and scored some vital goals.

10 July: Antonio Cassano joins Hellas Verona. 18 July (am): Cassano announces his retirement. 18 July (pm): Cassano comes out of retirement. The crazy genius strikes again

Like selling sand in Sahara. Legit surprised Hanley hasn't gone yet mind. Think he's a good championship defender and would improve a lot of sides in there. Must be wages I guess.

Surprised Kone hasn't left yet.

Boro £4m bid for Josh Murphy rejected. Wouldn't mind us going in for him as well.

Hopefully Rafa will sort him out, no worries here. Can always sell him back to a Spanish team for a similar fee if it doesn't work out

CM should be the priority for me, we look hopeless when Shelvey's not interested. Besides, only an injury away from Colback starting games...

Seems a great signing

That is heart-wrenching news about Nouri.

He's absolute crap, and I find it totally astonishing that we've seemingly got no lad from our academy who can step in and take his place.

They plummeted new depths when their main transfer scoop for one day was when some fan saw Rafa getting his groceries. 'Five things we learned about Rafa's weekly food shop'.

Lee Ryder is a total idiot, and the Chronicle in general have been beyond clueless this transfer window. Not to mention navigating their abomination of a site is like crossing a minefield in clown shoes.

Exactly, it's totally infuriating. What's even worse is how Ashley has successfully shrunk fan's expectations so we don't even dream anymore. I mean even Southampton are a million miles ahead of us like. Fuck me.

The only embarrassing ones are those, like yourself, that can't abide that someone might hear some snippets from someone but, of course, is unwilling to divulge their source. Jealousy most likely. Agreed.

Well I mean Rafa's people clearly released a controlled leak to the media a couple weeks back about missing out on Abraham and Caballero. So while I don't believe you as a source, I believe he's likely pissed off.

Loftus-Cheek seems an absolute no-brainer of a signing to make, we're absolutely desperate for quality in the the centre of midfield. Last season we looked hopeless against Championship opposition when Shelvey was injured / not on it.

Traore is utter garbage. What the fuck is going on.

Firmly believe he'd be absolutely amazing here under Rafa. Get him back.. :'(
